Hi all, I can not use mysql gem for my ruby & mysql system. Below is my output screen (Windows OS). Did anyone here face this before? Please help me!

Please open a Ticket for the documentation issue here: [http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group\_id=1598](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=1598) And I will try to take a look. ---

I am having the same issue with sudo gem install mysql I also have the same issue with the sqlite3-ruby gem build… Should there be something installed to support the building of the documentation?? ---
